plz answer

You aren't getting answers for a simple set of reasons:

1. There are guides
2. Which you choose depends on how YOU want to play

If you use CobbZ super fast levelling guide it is a nuker that does not specialize in a weapon (outside of 1 Pacheon skill) til level 80. Then you decide. So you basically can use s/s or spear, he recommends switching to spear from 32 on but you don't use SP in any weapon skills after you max anti-devil. until you finish SP grinding at 80.

Read the guides, make a choice. Enjoy.

If you are going to be a Nuker i would go S/S
Nukers got LOW hp so they can die FAST.
if you have a spear you dont take reduced damage and dont get a chance to block attacks. i have a char at lv 25 thats pure int nuker and uses a spear. he dies fast but he can do lots of damage.

if you were a s/s you can do lots of damage as well and you can take a hit. Nukers need to watch their hp because they take tons of damage even tho they can deal massive damage.

Its really up to you do decide if you want to take lots of damage at the cost of a little more power.

just my 2 cents...

reasons im not using the stickies or the other guides is because they are outdated and made before the 80 cap. still need advice

....CobbZ updated his guide THIS MONTH. Also note I mentioned levelling to 80????

When you assume you make an AS S of U and ME

how does this sound?
80 bicheon
80 light
80 fire
60 cold for passive and snow sheild?

there is NO BETTER build.
there all better at different things.
just stick s/s on though if your gonna do it. you can even block nukes.

I had a sword/shield nuker and I hated it. You can never block every attack nor can you block even MOST attacks so I was dying like crazy in PVP with my nuker. I switched to Spear and it is way better than Sword/Shield the BR is worthless because of what I said above, the spear has HP increase which is really good for you because you always have the HP increase unlike ALWAYS having a BLOCK with your shield so I die a lot less in PVP. I have a level 32 Spear Nuker btw.

My masterys are going to be this when I hit 80:

Heuksal (I don't know how to spell it): 80
Light: 80
Fire: 80

the build that some people are thinking about is:

80 Bicheon/Heuksal
80 Light
80 Ice
60 Fire (eventually taking out fire and pumping up the other 3 mastery's)

which is the build that most people use in ksro now.

why are they all using 60 fire? isnt the fire nuke the hardest hitting? and one more i need an estimate of how much sp i would need? around 230k? more or less?

That is getting more common now. I would say this is the way to go for pure int.

lightning is hardest hitting the catch is it has transfers so you could end up with multiple mobs on your hands

The point of a nuker is to hit fast and kill mobs before they can get you. Most nukers go for light, to kill 2 creatures at once with a nuke and a shout. I'd go for a s/s nuker, cus i had a spear nuker (b4 i went to hybrid), and when i lagged, i'm dead.

So i'd go for TenKai's idea of:
80 s/s
80 light
80 ice
60 fire

but you should experiment and come up with a build you like

ok but why is every1 getting 80 ice? is it becuz of snow shield? or the nuke or what?>

Sword/Shield best if you dont like to die that offten. Spear if you like to do the damage of a sun sword almost.

IMO, no matter what you do, pure ints are gona die pretty fast. Even with lvl 80 ice. S/S is the way to go, and if your set on PURE INT, not hybrid *looks st siggy* then your going to need a shield, and ice. Just realise, when your snow shield goes down and you have 1 minute of no snow shield, your gona get owned unless you somehow hack a 100br on your shield. I was pure int up to lvl 60, then started thinking of hybrid before it was too late and i got stuck with it at 80. I DID go hybrid in the end, and am quite happy i did. Trust me, just because you have 80 ice doesnt mean your gona survive. You also gottabe able to kill, and by losing your fire nukes at lvl 80, it could be hard.

i need an estimate of how much sp is needed for a pure int s/s nuker

Are you planning on using bicheon skills?

My guide in my sig gives a rough sp count for lvl 80 bicheon, fire, and lightning, under the "Sp Recap" section. Hyrbid and pure ints are pretty similar in skills to get.

Or use a sp calculator: http://nivlam.com/char/

either should be helpful

Hmm, but now the 90 cap is coming i would go for
90 heuksal (if spear
90 light
90 fire (just coz of highest mag. damage)
30 cold (mana shield)
